Mission & Values

On this page:

Interfaith Worker Justice (IWJ) advances the rights of workers by engaging diverse faith communities into action, from grassroots organizing to shaping policy at the local, state and national levels. We envision a nation where all workers enjoy the rights to:

Wages, health care, and pensions that allow workers to raise families and retire with dignity

Safe working conditions

Organize and bargain collectively to improve wages, benefits, and conditions without harassment, intimidation, or retaliation

Equal protection under labor law - regardless of immigration status - and an end to the practice of pitting immigrant and U.S.-born workers against one another

Fair and just participation in a global economy that promotes the welfare of both domestic and foreign workers

All major faith traditions believe that workers have a right to be paid a living wage, to stick together for better pay and conditions, and be treated with dignity by their employer. This is what holds us together and drives us forward in the fight for worker justice.
